1: Building LAMS 2.2 from Source

Hello all, I have a dedicated virtual machine in which I am building LAMS from source.
I have followed all the steps as outlined here http://wiki.lamsfoundation.org/display/lams/Building+LAMS and here http://wiki.lamsfoundation.org/display/lams/Development+Environment
I have downloaded lams_2_2_final from the CVS server, build it using the "Run As->Ant Build..." option, in the order outline in the documentation. I rum jBoss via the command line but am receiving some errors in the server.log. I have attached this file. I am able to access the JBoss console via the URL (http://localhost:8080/) but not LAMS (http://localhost:8080/lams/)
LAMS.log doesn't appear either, indicating it hasn't started.
Furthermore I have checked my settings in the configuration table in the database are accurate and they seem ok.
Upon viewing the server log, if anyone could give me some suggestions, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Praveen.

How did you start jboss? Looks like some other configuration has interfered in there. Try starting with a fresh copy of jboss, then re-deploy lams, without doing anything else with jboss. It just needs to sit there while the lams ant tasks copy files to it. You can then run it by executing C:\jboss-4.0.2\bin\run.bat.

Hello Jun,
I start jBoss by running the C:\jboss-4.0.2\bin\run.bat after having built LAMS.
I started with a fresh copy of jBoss and re-built LAMS, then I start jBoss. I still get the same issue, the server.log for this latest attempt is attached.

The only difference is that now I don't Copy jboss-cache.jar, jgroups.jar from server/all/lib to server/default/lib. The instructions indicate this is no longer required, as for LAMS 2.2, these libraries will be a part of LAMS distribution and will be deployed along with the project. I have checked the C:\jboss-4.0.2\server\default\deploy\lams.ear\ directory and these files are present.

If you have any ideas from the server.log attached, please let me know.
Thanks,
Praveen.

Hi Jun,

Just to give you some more information, I had a read of this thread: http://lamscommunity.org/dotlrn/clubs/technicalcommunity/forums/message-view?message_id=769187

Here you have asked whether the user has mysql-ds.xml in pathToJBoss\server\default\deploy directory. I should note that I do
NOT have this file present, how do I ensure this goes in via the build? There is no mysql-ds.xml in pathToJBoss\server\default\deploy\lams.ear either.

I run the following tasks in the following order:
"rebuild-db"
"assemble-ear"
"deploy-ear"
"deploy-tools"
"copyfiles"

I also had a read this thread: http://lamscommunity.org/dotlrn/clubs/technicalcommunity/forums/message-view?message%5fid=776401
You have pointed out that src/java/org/lamsfoundation/lams/dbupdates/patch0017_updateFrom23.sql was checked into the branch by accident and this should be removed.

Is this only applicable for the "lams2_3" version?

I have checked out the "lams2_2_final" version however and this file isn't present and the script contents appear to be different too. I assume deleting the "patch0013_updateFrom21.sql" instead would not be applicable here?

Thanks, any info is appreciated.

Praveen.

The mysql-ds.xml should be copied to C:\jboss-4.0.2\server\default\deploy during the copyfiles ant task.

Does the ant output of 'copyfiles' show that files were copied to the right location - i.e. under C:\jboss-4.0.2\...? In lams_build/windows.properties, you would have needed to configure jboss.home=C:\jboss-4.0.2.

There's no known problem with the patch0013_updateFrom21.sql in the lams2_2_final tag - in fact if you delete that, some features of lams probably wouldn't work properly.
